According to my independent mechanics, many, many modern 9 3s and 9 5s are showing up with failures in the cylinder head gasket. On the passenger side, you can see a dribble of oil leaking out and running down the engine block. Also some early '01 9 5 have faulty head bolts that are loose.
Search on these issues in the 9 5 bulletin board. You will see much confirmation.
